$14, 4 stars, 88 points, dessert wine, greece, Mavrodaphne, patras
Pale garnet, almost like strawberry juice- with high viscosity (15% ABV). On the nose I get stewed cherry, some warm nuts, orange peel, strawberry coulis, caramel and vanilla bean. The palate is sweet, bordering on luscious, with low tannins and a full body. The red fruit really comes out, but not quite so ripe as the nose. Caramel and nuts with vanilla on the back end. Medium length on the finish, it’s a delicious affair if you like them this sweet. I plan on pairing this with poached pears and ice cream. Not overly complex, it only runs $14 and get 88 points from me making it a 4 star effort to drink now. Salut….
